A motorist aged in his 20s has sadly died following a collision on the A607 near East Goscote.
The incident, which involved only one car, happened close to the villages of Queniborough and East Goscote, close to the roundabout with Melton Road, at 6.30pm on the evening of Wednesday September 11.
The black Alpha Romeo Giulia was travelling towards the city when it left the road and came to a stop down a steep embankment.
The driver was taken to hospital following the collision where he remained in a critical condition – he passed away in hospital on Friday.
A male passenger, also aged in his 20s, was also taken to hospital. He has since been discharged.
Leicestershire Police are appealing for witness to the incident to make contact.
Confirming the death of the driver, Det Con Paul Hicks, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Our thoughts at this time remain with his family and his friends and officers continue to provide full support.
“We are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the collision."
“The car joined the A607 from the Queniborough roundabout and had only travelled around 200 metres before the incident occurred.
“We are working to establish why the car left the road and would urge anyone who thinks they may have seen the car being driven beforehand or captured footage on a dash cam to make contact.
"Similarly, if you saw the incident but haven’t yet spoken to police please come forward.”
